rear shock spring

Post by patreilly »

OK fellows With your help I rebuilt my 2000 220 forks and understand how to measure the fork springs and what spring I needed. Now, I have 2 more KDX's headed this way. One has a "heavier" shock spring. How do I measure shock spring rate and where do I find a chart with correct spring by the weight and type of riding?

Stock is 5.0 for 1995+.

Look for manufacturer markings, if possible.

You will need to take them to a suspension shop or a shop that deals with car racing, as you need a spring tester that is pretty heavy duty
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

If you are shopping online for a new spring, YZ springs also fit. Check against a catalog or race tech to make sure.
This is my rifle, this is my gun, the YZ to go fast, the KDX is for fun!
